Advertising/Sponsorship

Becoming a corporate sponsor of professional golfer Stuart Hendley allows your company to take advantage of a unique and proven effective method of advertising/marketing for your company and affiliated corporate logo, products and services.  Besides being an effective way of gaining brand recognition, this is also an ideal opportunity for your company to make use of Stuart's golfing, entertaining, teaching and speaking skills for the purpose of doing something memorable and special for your company's V.I.P's.  Corporate sponsorship would also include Stuart displaying your corporate logo at one or mulitple locations on his hats, clothes, golf bag, website, or even his vehicle.  As Stuart basically lives day-in and day-out in his golf attire, your logo would be visible at all tournaments, pro-ams, corporate outings, charity golf tournaments, practice time, private teaching, coaching, golf academies, junior functions, interviews, etc.  His hats and golf bag are also always with him in his day to day golf related activities.  Regarding Stuart's vehicle, this would obviously be visible at all golf related functions, as well as simply going about his day to day activities.

If you like this idea, but your company currently does not host or sponsor any type of golf tournaments or functions, Stuart can offer ideas regarding how you can develop a golf program for the purpose of rewarding and entertaining your top customers, employees, potential customers and any other V.I.P.'s that your company might want to do something special for.  These functions can have as many or as few people as your budget allows.  You can offer elaborate functions with a meal, drinks, golf and entertainment, or something more relaxed and casual.  The most cost effective way to entertain and reward a large group is to simply invite any size group to a particular golf course to attend a special "private" golf demonstration performed by Stuart.  Stuart has performed these entertaining and informative golf demonstrations at approximately 450 golf related functions around the world.  The golf course usually does not require any type of payment for this type of function, as Stuart is the only one hitting golf balls.  Stuart's performances are complete with helpful tips, unusual/trick shots, stories from all his experiences and a high level of skill that has allowed him to win and consistently compete on the various professional golf tours around the world for the last 24 years.  Your company could host or sponsor these types of golf functions locally, regionally or nationally.

If your company likes the idea of hosting or sponsoring golf functions outside of the Midland/Odessa area, these functions could be organized in cities or towns where Stuart might be playing in a tournament or attending some other type of golf function.  Stuart will gladly travel to any location in North America to perform his various golf and speaking services.  Stuart also has a great deal of experience regarding various ways to raise additional funds at charity golf tournaments.

The number of days Stuart would make himself available for each corporate sponsor would depend on the amount of sponsorship.  Stuart is constantly in front of large groups of people throughout the year as he is going about his day to day golf related activities.  Therefore, every corporate sponsor is assured of receiving a great deal of exposure during the year.  His friendly, outgoing personality, impressive golfing skills and unique entertaining, teaching and speaking skills make him a top choice for pro-am groups, corporate outings, charity events and any other golf related function.
